performance settings you can activate in Apache. Each of these is designed to

prevent slow user connections from hogging up all your server\'s resources.

They can also be used to prevent things like Web spiders from hogging up all

your resources.

Starting Apache

Let\'s take your new Apache

installation out for a spin.

If you installed Apache

using a binary or from scratch, as root, type

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl

start

If you used an RPM, as

root, type

httpd

Point your browser at your

brand new Web server,

http://localhost or

http://127.0.0.1 (Internal Loopback IP

Address), substituting

your server\'s hostname for

localhost and you

should see the magnificent \"It worked!\" default home page.
